Ahhh, so your one of the guys who weens out the pricks making false CTP claims after an accident cos their dumbass mate said "you can get 10g from your accident, claim your neck hurts". I take my hat off to you sir, and please, fix up these pricks so my rego doenst keep skyrocketing >_<

Correct Lee.

Speaking of Rego constantly going up for this very reason, I wonder how many people actually look up the individual costs that make up your Rego.

12 Month Rego for my bike:

admin fee....................$6

emergency svce levy...$24

flaming stamp duty......$60 >_<

actual rego cost..........$32

CTP insurance.............$330.52

the last component of your rego is the one that skyrockets each year.

you wonder why the vein in my neck starts to pop out when I hear about inexperienced drivers (and unlicensed ones) getting involved in accidents then putting in false claims...........I actually like my job

Don't look my way then Pete :bunny: ... I'm about to submit a claim for my bike crash last year (almost exactly a year ago).

Broken shoulder, pain and suffering, rehab, poor Tracy caring for me etc. I'm setting an appointment with the specialist in the next few weeks to confirm there will be no future recurrence of any related injury.

Whats a broken shoulder worth? >_<

sorry to talk shop Pete... but why do i have to pay CTP insurance when i have full compo.....

im guessing they are different, but on the otherhand i figured it might be like the emergency services levey which u end up paying 11ty times a year (which i have heard from a reliable source only goes to the metro fire fighters....)

no probz bud, guys like you & Tangles is what the system was designed for (I understand they are 2 totally different claims)

If your claim ever comes across my desk (not just because I know you) like many other similar claims in your situation, no covert surveillance would not be necessary.

that's easy Carl..........comprehensive is property ins whereas CTP is 3rd part bodily ins >_<

Here's a pic of the new type M bumper for my Stagea

Its still in its black primer. Hope to have it sprayed by this weekend.

>_<

I hope your not planning on keeping your number plate there, they have to be 300mm from the ground.

lol, Matty the Matchmaker.........just because we're a couple of bitches in trucks now you want to pair up everyone on SAU >_<

pure coincidences pete, im no matchmaker lol

theres nobody annoying enough to be paired with..................................................................actually on second thoughts im leaving that one alone LOL

SLED, Just to clarify..

CTP Insurance is just incase you have an accident and you put someone out of work for the rest of their life. Makes sence, The person needs compensation and you dont want to fork out for the rest of your life to support someone else just over an accident.

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
